What should I do to study in Japan?

The embassy in the depths of the compound has always been strange to people outside the besieged city, as if it were on the way to study in a foreign country. When you walk in, you will suddenly realize that all the things that are difficult in your imagination are actually very simple as long as you understand them.

I met the Japanese visa officer in the simple and generous reception room of the Japanese consulate. After his explanation, I knew nothing about studying in Japan, and suddenly understood that studying in Japan was not difficult.

Certificate of residence qualification in China

Choosing a suitable Japanese school is the first step to study in Japan. There are many ways to learn about Japanese universities, which can be inquired through the internet or contacted by letters. If you choose to study in Japan, that is, to study in a regular university, the basic condition is to have a diploma of 12 years or more. If you choose "school", that is, language learning, then the conditions are much more relaxed. As long as you want to go, it seems that opportunities are waiting for you at any time. And after arriving in Japan, I will have the opportunity to choose to study abroad again!

Of course, in addition to suitable majors, the fees charged by Japanese universities must be a factor you must consider. Now that you have received the admission notice, it's time to go through the visa formalities.

At this time, the first thing to do is to find relatives, financial guarantors or schools in Japan and apply for residence qualification certificates at the local immigration office in Japan. This certificate is very important, but it is the key to applying for a visa. Because to apply in Japan, it will take about 1-2 months to get the qualification certificate for staying in Japan.

Schools in Japan usually start in April, so if you plan to go to Japan, this is the best time to start applying.

Bring all the information at once.

9: 00 am-12: 00 am is the time for the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai to accept visas. If you don't bring all the materials needed for visa application right away, you may have to queue up in advance again.

The required materials include valid passport, qualification certificate for studying in Japan and its photocopy, 1 Japanese entry visa application (received by the embassy), 1 photo (4.5cm vertical and 3.5-4.5cm horizontal), ID card or temporary residence permit, household registration book and its photocopy, notarized certificate of the highest academic diploma, admission permit (photocopy) and admission application (voluntary admission).

Japanese visa officers generally refuse visas for three reasons: low Japanese proficiency; No desire to study hard; Providing forged certification materials. You will get an answer within one week after applying for a visa. If you are lucky, you can take a Japanese flight only by paying the visa fee of RMB in 200 yuan.

Well, under the direct guidance of the visa officer, you now know the simplest route to study in Japan!

Experts explain six doubts about studying in Japan in detail.

A decide whether it is necessary to apply to the university after studying abroad.

Whether you are an online student or an offline student, even if you decide to study abroad, don't "last stop". Giving up college registration or giving up work is by no means the best choice. Some students and parents have the idea of giving up registration because they have to pay a high tuition fee of 1 year to register in universities. Or should we go all out to strengthen Japanese? Although this idea is reasonable, it is not feasible. Because the application for studying abroad is a long period and complicated procedure. There are many uncertainties that may arise at any time. For example, the visa policy of the applicant country has changed. In case of emergency when studying abroad, if the applicant is still studying or working, he can take it easy. Even if the applicant's personal conditions are no matter how good, he should be prepared in case he is refused a visa.

Several options for college graduates to study abroad

When college graduates choose to study abroad, they usually face awkward choices. Judging from the results of university 1, both time and cost are not worth the loss. Some people think that the best plan is to upgrade from university to undergraduate course. As a student, I entered the third year of a four-year university in Japan and got my bachelor's degree in the shortest time (usually 2 years).

However, this scheme also has some limitations. At present, there are few universities that directly recruit undergraduates in China, and the major choices are narrow. Most of them are ordinary private schools. If the applicant has a fairly basic education in China, wants to apply for a first-class public university in Japan, or wants to have a wider choice of majors, then it is best to go to a language school for transition and then go to Japan for further study. In Japan, first-class universities generally do not recruit junior college students, and even if they can recruit students, the entrance examination is relatively difficult. Generally speaking, it is required to start reading from 1 level or level 2. In addition, some people who have reached the second level or above in Japanese in China can choose to go directly to the undergraduate course and get the undergraduate degree in the shortest time. If they think the school or major is not ideal, they can consider going to Japan for further study and postgraduate education.

C Is it feasible for students to give up their present schools and study in Japan?

For some college and undergraduate students, after a period of study, they feel that their major is not suitable for them, and they have the idea of giving up their existing schools to study in Japan. If I am a junior college student in 1 year, it is feasible to give up my existing school and study in Japan. If you are a junior college student for 2 years, it is recommended to postpone the study abroad plan in Japan for the time being, and it is best to choose junior college students to study abroad after graduation; If you are an undergraduate, whether your school or major likes it or not, you'd better finish your undergraduate education before considering studying abroad. Because foreign countries, including Japan, have many advantages in postgraduate education, such as tuition and scholarships. The above two types of students should make full use of their spare time to learn Japanese while continuing their college or university studies. The higher the level of Japanese in China, the easier it is to study or live in Japan.

D can you guarantee to be admitted to the university after going to Japan?

At present, the applicants who choose to study in Japan are mainly language students. Its competition for further studies is relatively weak in China. Because after going to China, foreigners are generally admitted to study abroad, and the competitors are mainly international students, mainly Japanese. Due to the increasingly serious "declining birthrate" in Japan in recent years, there is a relative surplus of higher education resources. In 2007, Japan will enter the "all-in-one era" of university study. Currently, there are about 700 universities in Japan. This is a rare opportunity for China students. In particular, some students who made mistakes in the college entrance examination are not satisfactory and can choose again by their own efforts. Therefore, there is basically no situation that you can't study in Japan. However, the competition for admission to some top universities is fierce at any time.

E Can I apply for going to Japan for high school after graduating from junior high school?

According to the current policy of studying abroad in Japan, except for some high schools with inter-school exchange agreements, the stage of studying abroad in Japan's high schools has not been completely opened to the society. In terms of academic qualifications, it is generally required that students who have received formal school education must reach 12 or above, that is, graduate from high school (including students from three schools) before they can apply for studying in Japan. Therefore, it is suggested that junior high school students who intend to study in Japan must persist in graduating from high school and realize their desire to study in Japan. Of course, if you are determined to study in Japan, you can use your spare time or winter and summer vacations to strengthen Japanese in the future. The longer you study Japanese in China, the higher your level, the shorter your study time in the language stage when you study in Japan, and the easier your life after you go to Japan.

F can I go through the formalities of studying abroad by myself?

There are several ways to study abroad. First, I can handle it myself. The second is to entrust foreign relatives and friends to handle it. The third is to choose an agent to study abroad. As for the way to choose, parents and students must carefully weigh their abilities and make a decision after comprehensive consideration. Because the application process for studying abroad generally takes a long time, specific things such as choosing a school, contacting a school, making materials and applying for a visa will not happen overnight. Moreover, many uncertain factors, such as the adjustment of the study abroad policy of the applicant country, may occur halfway. Therefore, it is difficult to make a trip without considerable foreign language proficiency, professional knowledge, judgment and enough time and energy. Although we can get all kinds of information we want from all kinds of channels now, it is indeed a rather complicated process to filter the information and materials obtained. If you choose the second way to study abroad, then the overseas client you choose will have several conditions listed in the above article instead of you, and have enough trust.

Finally, remind the applicant that once the visa is refused to study in Japan, the possibility of successful re-application is low. Most schools and intermediaries do not accept students who refuse visas. Therefore, people who apply for the first time must carefully choose the way and school to study abroad.

In addition, examination results such as "Unified Examination for Private Foreign Students" and "Japanese Proficiency Test" are widely used in the admission and selection of universities.

Several steps to prepare for studying in Japan

[Go Abroad Online] At the 2005 China International Education Exhibition, there were 13 national universities and1/private universities participating.

Japanese study consultants said that they should be fully prepared before studying in Japan. Every student's motivation to study in Japan is different, and the purpose, mode, duration and educational institutions of studying abroad are also different. First of all, regarding your future career and development direction, it is best to make your own study abroad plan according to your educational background and economic ability. Then, it is necessary to collect information in preparation for studying abroad, choose schools, choose institutions to implement Japanese education, apply, and finally take the entrance examination.

Usually, Japanese 1 to 2-year courses start in April, and 1 and 6-month courses start from 10. The application and termination time varies from school to school. For courses that started in April, the application started between June and June of the previous year, and for courses that started in June and June. With few exceptions, there are still schools that start in July and June. Generally, the time required for obtaining admission forms, preparing materials and mailing will be added, so the preparation for applying for Japanese schools should start at least 6-8 months ago.
